Captain and Tennille Muskrat Love

[Androidx17]

HOW DID THEY GET THE MUSKRATS TO DANCE??

[UpYourAssWithaPole]

1970's technology hard at work....

[bahooneyonastick]

This is the weirdest, dumbest thing, ever.

[davidvirgodc]

This song was so lovely.

[freebirdnys]

Thank you for this video my son seems we have muskrats living close and this is the song I thought glad I'm able to share it with him

[xXLiamisawesomeXx]

@freebirdnys go to hell u stupid peice of shit

[zaazaaazoo]

Muskrats will become intelligent and put all of us in zoos and watch us do what humans do.

[xXLiamisawesomeXx]

@zaazaaazoo fuck u hipster shithead



[tcepxe]

@zaazaaazoo You're absolutely right!!

[kickinkatie28]

Deeply disturbed!!!

[sockpuppetmartinez]

Maybe it's just me but America's version seems far less cheesy/retarded.

[thebobbalo1]

Most random & STUPID song ever! Even my dad hated this piece o' shit!

[mustagsally1273]

At least some of us appreciate this classic and the cheese with it! Life without cheese and music still embedded in our vinyl would be nothing! Thank you for sharing!

[luiguiboytj1]

@THEONLYMOO5E....you dont apreciatte the song plain and simple....youre the aboomer and shitty guy ...you dont whort the worry and the sorry..............LUIGUI

[nucifubuc8]

Nibblin on bacon, chewin on cheese! Awe man what a life!

[longhairsRcool]

Seriously the stupidest song ever. Has no deep meaning to the listener, and the stupid little noise that they play which is supposed to be a muskrat noise sounds like someone is farting in the bathtub!!

[theonlymoo5e]

@longhairsRcool It's a love song plain & simple, just using a couple muskrats instead of people.

[longhairsRcool]

@theonlymoo5e It's a dumb song plain and simple. It has been rated as a dumb song for many and multiple reasons. The first being that it has little to no emotional meaning to most people....I guess if muskrats ever become intelligent then maybe they'll whistle a different toon. You're just another Baby Boomer Defending his/her oldies. Just admit it's a shitty song. There are some good oldies bands like the Beatles or Clapton but this just isn't it sorry....

[aitraining]

A historically stupid song (maybe the dumbest lyrics ever - not sure who gave them this idea) but loved C and T.

[7718whitsons]

captain must have worn a helmet on the bus every morning.

He's rockin back and forth like hes having a stroke.

What would make this video better would be a gas leak explosion.

[2Kriss2Kross]

I really don't get why this song is so despised. If someone can explain that'd be great. Yeah it's not as good as "Love Will Keep Us Together" but it's not awful, it's just trying to be cute. I rather listen to this than all the autotune crap they come with today but that's probably just me.

[karatechick148]

This song HAD to be a joke. They must have been laughing all the way to the bank.

[theonlymoo5e]

@karatechick148 The group America also did this song.

[ChrisYonts]

Oh, Toni is so SWEET.

[choirgrrl]

WTF was that?

[saolgragaire]

This video cracks me up!!!!!!!! WTF!!!

[Galaphile87]

MUSKRAT MONEY SHOT! WOOT! LUUuuuUUUuUUUOOOooovvEEeeeeeee

[DrZook]

This song persuaded me to try muskrat love. It was awful. It took me months to get the musk off me, even though I bathed 5 time a day. This song is evil and should be banned.

[Darkiver]

I can't help but picturing them as a serial killer couple. The Captain a raging speechless butcher, knifing you. While Tenille sits there smiling her ungodly grin just watching you with her demon eyes until you die.

[manorcraft64]

@Darkiver your crazy but i know what you meen

[celticthistle619]

The 70s, lol

[needtobreathe14]

cant this br anymore disturbing..... i think so i cant stop laughing



[56Edify]

Make me want to jam knitting needles into my ears. Crappiest song of all time.

[oyvay3000]

@56Edify Agreed...but these are a close second : Sometimes when we touch…Dan Hill/ Patches…Dickie Lee/ Ben...Michael Jackson/ Happiest Girl in the USA ...Donna Fargo/

Seasons in the Sun...Terry Jacks/ Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep...Mac & Katie Kissoon and last but not least Koombaya

[messydesk98]

sanging and janging a jangle?

[messydesk98]

I love muskrat love honestly but it is horrible in the fact that it serves absolutely no purpose.

[lilSnubby]

You guys are mean. Muskrats are cute.

[oyvay3000]

I WANT THIS VIDEO SHOWN AT MY FUNERAL!!!!

[smitheree]

@oyvay3000 with taste like that it wont be far away lol

[oyvay3000]

@smitheree i want u there!!! u sound like fun..i'll keep u posted re the date...everyone will hold hands & sway while singing in spanish, chinese & pig latin!..what a joyful sound !!..afterwards all the attendees will reach into the urn & have an ash fight!..it's gunna be the BEST FUNERAL eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[smitheree]

@oyvay3000 - Yep the funeral of my taste in music lol

[iggyono]

If any alien civilization sees this (it's about 35 light years out now) we are friggin' doomed. No stopping it. The muskrat is already out of the bag.

[revbookburn]

still laughing

[plygtr85]

my parents told me that this song was played at their wedding...ive lost all respect for them...

[jhobbs174]

@plygtr85 Ha Ha!! That's funny!

[dalar48]

my fucking god they play this song at work (walgreens) ALL THE TIME.. i always thought the squeeking from like 2:10 was something wrong with the speakers

[NBlunierProductions]

this is SO. ANNOYING.

[JonInSD2009]

I bet back in the day they had the really good weed.

[MrDogdays71]

God awful rubbish! I can't believe this was a hit....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[marksomerville]

They played this song at the White House for the Queen of England in the late 70's. Copulating rodents for the Queen. You bet.

[shesaldy]

Balls. That is all.

[AllyGazdacko]

Sounds like sonic farts hahaha

[FizzyFlop]

Yeah ... sure this is tongue-in-cheek lyrical stuff ... but great soothing voice, fabulous tune and super entertaining! Very very addictive . I can't stop pressing the ..Replay .. Replay ... Replay .... button!!

[regis7188]

How can you keep a straight face singing words like this? Nice voice and music though.

[jeffhickman10]

Rumor has it that Darryl Dragon has a 12 inch cock. He keeps it in a jar on the night stand.

[hatewog]

Her hair looks like a Nazi SS helmet

[SuperKiwicoco]

You are plain mean

[beaverswatter]

Wow. Listening to this song with a hangover really doesn't help.

[Hyperion703]

I'm so glad I wasn't around in the 70s.

[blackandtanful]

A&Mの看板夫婦デュオ､キャプテン＆テニールの素敵なｶﾊﾞｰ­､アメリカの"ﾏｽｸﾗｯﾄ･ﾗヴ"～ﾀﾞﾝ･ﾋﾟｰｸ氏の死を­悼みます!～ほのぼのヴｨﾃﾞｵですネ!

[savanhnanachips321]

really, how could somebody make money from this song???

[samanthasue210]

i have to listen to this song about 5 times a day at work. yea i'm still surprised i havent killed myself yet.

[SuperKiki1019]

Love this song. Great memories.

[tyrese3745]

This could make for a great Sesame Street clip...w/ Big Bird.

[NadrianATRS]

he has the scariest looking eyeballs

[JoshWMyers]

At 0:57 is when the acid kicks in.

[asgrigorov]

me:aw man this is so bad

*muscrat puppets appear*

me:i dont want to live

[bassmanjoe]

I like America's version.

[MegaBigRAJ]

some of these people need their heads burried cptn and tennille have been and always be great i personly adore them and own most all ther work .

[CoachG1000]

This is equal to smoking 3 packs a day for 22 years...they both with shorten your life considerably.

[CindyK1]

He got the biggest fuckin eyes ever though... Damn...

[JordanPJames97]

I don't like this type of music but seriously why can't people be this happy about their music anymore. Yeah she is smiling the whole time but it's cause she is happy.

[staloki]

quit smiling ya freaking weirdos!!!!!!

[newbei440]

she has a really beautiful voice

[JonM11100]

Yeah and to think that the song was written by Willis Alan Ramsey...go figure.....I don't get it - what is this guy the captain of? I don't get the connection between him looking like a sailor and their band/music.

[ldylkr]

wtf!!! Sounds like sonic farts. lol

[bandabears]

That guy looks like he only has pupils...

[Epicbeards]

i have always wondered why james did take the watch from jowanna

[furpurr]

folks, this is the live version played on their t.v. show; the audience is laughing at the captain's facial expressions, because they can see the dancing muskrats on their monitors. it was quite cute, quite innocent, & quite funny during that time! seriously; it's not all that. *ha ha*

[p4rtyf4v0r]

This song got mentioned in Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs (if that's the title- it's been a while) and now I see why. Excuse me, I'm going to go tear out my eyes and cram knives into my ears.

[youvexme]

@p4rtyf4v0r Had never heard this song, just heard of it. Now that I know, I can tell you I am in full agreement with you. I am thinking this may have to be the new rickroll, but it may be too cruel.

[ggcoolg]

This smells of cocaine psychosis. Just look at the bugged out eyes of Tennille, the retarded Muskrat super imposed lameness. A lot of music during this time period completely sucked...more than American Idol has achieved. Music + Formula = Garbage for the brain.

[Dayga]

This is some sick bestiality shit. And I have a sneaky suspicion one of them took a crap under 'The Captain's' goofy-assed hat!

[hammertoejoe]

I remember I was in love with Captain... I was just 7

[Digressor666]

I trap muskrats.

[TeamRpattz123]

Sammy so skinny.......

[pescadoyventanas]

I have seen this video.

I'm kinda ready for the apocalypse now.

[stutwostep]

I'd have a hard time playing if a couple of muskrat's were getting ready to fuck on my hat.

[shamshamsham123123]

captain looks high as fuck at 1:49

[zombilly14]

more like tickling her bobies lol's :P

[davidvirgodc]

Take me back. Take me back. I was so in love with this song when was a kid.

[56Edify]

@davidvirgodc And I would bet your taste in music STILL sucks.

[buzinessmann]

Wide eyed, toothy grinned middle aged women with bowl cuts seem to be haunting me. Must be my family out Minnesota way :\

[gbooths]

I loved this song when I was 10 and it was the first 45 I had. Let's see how many of you know what a 45 is.

[LordKelvin100]

@gbooths: It was the compact disk of its day.

[jephsteph]

Muskrats apparently have diarrhea.

[christa700]

can't believe she sang backup on pink floyd the wall....

[Shadeleaves]

They look majorly stoned. O.o captain looks like Lady Gaga in Bad Romance with those eyes.

[vonbontee]

Screw y'all if you don't like it! That Arp Odyssey solo is awesome!

[sjmckenzie101]

yeah music used to be so much better back in the day.



[Brianbellew]

She's on somethin'. This video is fucked up.

[Biograph1985]

Lady Gaga needs to redo this one.

[240clay98]

@Biograph1985 She certainly does.

[margabarg22]

@240clay98 Yep.

[bbussey1967]

@Biograph1985 she need to stop doing anything and go away

[abby4049]

Oh yes you're right, BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY REMEMBER ME THE MUSIC OF THE CAPENTER

[tubefluid]

@Biograph1985 Ummmm,,,,,,,,,,, no she doesn't. Please no!

[1caninelover]

Something made me think of this song (post traumatic stress? Who knows...) most God-awful schmaltz ever put out there; this has got to be the worst song to come out of any decade!

[missy91121]

dumbest song EVER

[Cherlover5]

What? Just... What?

[johnnyl30]

Wtf were they on? Lmao

[mew10t]

God, this is disturbing. But I can't look away.

[ILoveYewAdamLambert]

........................LOL this song is so f***ed up. lmao, I laughed so hard.......how the f*** did they write this song? nibblin' on bacon, chewin' on cheese, I love the way she says that. roflmao...

[Naturallyskeptic]

i'm gonna kill myself

[afr0b0t589]

@Naturallyskeptic that comment made my day!

[VercingetorixXIII]

Muskrats need love too... I think...

[imN0Ttheone]

Me and my ol lady like to do it muskrat style

[pterowraith]

13 people hate muskrats.

[cooktree]

****ing HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

[coliwood]

cocaine is a powerful drug.

[fredblassie123]

How much pure Acid did they take to think up these lyrics and this video? No Really...I need to know.

[chiwawaboy77]

Correction: this video is messed up....

[chiwawaboy77]

This song's messed up....

[sweetttina666]

I just added this to my favorites. Ironically.

[ilikemeandyoutoo]

What a strange, magical song.

Thanks for posting the video.

[foogoose]

A song for all time!

[charmedcripchic]

I loved this when I was 8

[o56kid]

OMG this song is terrible!!!!!!

[jacolo45]

se acuerdan de esta cancion de los muñequitosbailarines

[MsSparkle1998]

this is like, scary i think i was scared for life

:P

[AlbieGray]

@MsSparkle1998 Not so much scary, though. It made me cry when I first saw it. But then again, I was only in third grade. :p

[DaveWollenberg]

Why did Daryl and Toni feel that they had to pantomime it on their own show? Anyway, it was Billboard's #89 song of '77. They hit #1 AC, #4 pop in Billboard. God bless!

[furpurr]

@DaveWollenberg that pantomime is what i remember best about this song from my childhood, thank you! i loved it!!!! a cute, innocent song, made so by the awesome toni tennille!! :)

[bullseyecanada]

The song was written by the band America....it was more disturbing to those three grown men singing it. At least Toni's voice gave it the innocence it needed to be the children's song it actually is.

[ccatlove5]

im so disturbed

[BBQFanNo1]

my parents hated this song and still do,lol but i dont mind it. has that keyboard synth polarizing sound feel to it. the song sound just reminds me of like cool mint chewing gum and the autumn of 1976 for some eerie reason. probably because the wreck of the edmund fitgerald by gordon lightfoot was on the radio charts at the same time. the autumn of '76 was a very damp and cold one i can remember. snowstorms came early that winter.

[parisel313]

I gotta use that song

[JR08620]

I think they made it when they were on the LOVE BOAT.

I heard the Captain spoke once when a fat guy stepped on his foot.

[hanbone76]

I use to like this song as a kid but i never told anyone.

[HalinkaMega]

Bella canzone....!!!salute da Polonia

[YoungAz1]

what the fuck is a muskrat?

[makeuppmaniac]

@YoungAz1 some nasty rodent that shouldnt have a song about it...

[BBQFanNo1]

@makeuppmaniac America wrote and recorded the song on their 1973 Album..LOL

Funny song.

[SoldierSide77]

Tenille looks horny

[BBQFanNo1]

@SoldierSide77 i had the horny hots for toni tennille and linda ronstadt singers in the 70s.

[zeets93]

the Captain looks like Ted Bundy

[ar4216]

@zeets93

LMAO!

[markm0nk]

does anyone else notice how muskrat looking tennille looks ?

@ justiceleague hahahahaha

[jmrags2002]

Awesome hair-helmet Tennille! So glad the 70's are right where they belong . . . In the past!!

[jmrags2002]

Awesome hair-helmet Tenille! So glad the 70's are right where they belong . . . In the past!!

[ashleybrownoffical1]

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH HER FUCKIN EYES !?

[SoldierSide77]

The synth sounds like the diarrhea I had last night. Curse you, Taco Bell!

[Dre7Guevara]

@SoldierSide77

LMMFAO

[alexortizgutarra]

Con esta canción mas tú pareja, el resto esta demás. Alex Lima-Perú

[jman041987]

the creepyest smile every

[mystical453]

[mystical453]

oh wow i remember this so well and can even remember the words.......dang kelly you are awsome with this stuff

[cssmith011]

laughing so hard I'm crying

[poromise]

FOR FUCK'S SAKES

Someone's been smoking the good stuff. Also, nice hairdo.

[oOKiiLLaKiittyOo]

voll die pilszfrisur xDD

gä luca ?? xP

[ONLYTHEREALHISTORY]

that must have been some insane weed in the 70s

[JANXDPDX]

looks like she was inspired by Peter Berlin's haircut.

[gatesoftanhauser]

Okay, first of all, those are CHIPMUNK outfits with tails attached.

Second, a doom metal band needs to cover this song.

[englishman1960]

people only watched this for the beautiful face and hairstyle of Toni Tennille. It's definitely a dick in the mouth job.

[220773]

America' version sounds definitely less childishly posh... America's Muskrat love is soulful indeed... well, but that's simply another musical genre, that's folk rock, lads...

[fondlist]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written, sang and played by two amazing people.

[acerobb]

really drnk right now so looking at random shit

[TheKarenality]

Really...I don't know what the beef is with Muskrat Love! I think it's a sweet song...To each their own I s'pose!

[WARDMAN3]

Just my opinion, I love Captain and Tenille but this was really one of their biggest missteps. I hated it then and I hate it now! to each their own I suppose!

[mausholder99]

America didn't sell 2 million copies of it! They also didn't sell 25 million records in total. Who's laughing all the way to the bank?

[Ampersandra]

Back in the day, this song was incredibly futuristic with its wild electronic sounds. It was practically a science fiction novel you could listen to.

[SticksHick]

This video could be as important as Google!

[appraisalvasel]

watch the real version by America

[MissShona]

Gag, gag, gag!
